We are seeking expressions of interest from eligible not-for-profit community groups to participate in six hours of free individualised support from a mentor.

attracting and managing volunteers.

To be eligible community groups must:

be not-for-profit;

have a maximum of one full time equivalent staff member located on the Gold Coast;
hold adequate Public Liability and Personal accident insurances; and
have 2 to 3 representatives of your group/organisation commit to participate in the program and attend the mentoring sessions (ideally management committee representatives) between December 2020 and April 2021.
